This video is adapted from a presentation given at the 2010 National Genealogical Society Conference entitled “Doing Research in Real Time-An Exhilarating Collaboration Experience!" Its purpose is to demonstrate that genealogical research can be conducted by forming a collaborative team that can work together online. By utilizing this type of approach, a small team of researchers can produce more artifacts and results in less time than a single researcher working alone.
The Wiki Article/Handout link found above provides more detailed information about the process and tools that can be selected and utilized.

This class explains how family historians can accurately deduce ancestors’ identities and many aspects of their lives by digging below “surface information” in genealogical records and combining information from several sources. Useful in many situations, inferential methodology is especially helpful where records do not state relationships.
Because of extensive multimedia, this course is best viewed on a higher bandwidth internet connection.

In this short video you will learn the principles to effective genealogical research. Dr. Tom Jones gives the steps of research, helpful hints and overall direction on how to overcome your “brick walls.” This lesson presents research ideas that can be more fully explored in the full research course title Inferential Genealogy, which includes the same concepts with case studies and simulated, interactive coaching.
